Im not gonna beat the dead horse of the intake.

Intake: AEM V2, K&N, ebay(thats all im gonna say)

Muffler: OBX, Magnaflow, A'pexi

Cam Gears: Skunk2

Cam:?

Header: DC?

Coilovers: Omni, D2, Tein
(with those, you wont need struts.)

Springs: Tein, Eibach, Neuspeed.

Shocks: Koni, Kyb, Bilstein

VTEC Controller: Im still a little hazy on this.

Hope that helps a little.

On a mmrusa.com they have a package for 1800 (i think). It includes ported & polished head, cam, and throttle body...But they are by Gude. I heard a couple people say that Gude sucks. But im not entirely sure.

i'm still thinking about it...i was looking for some 19" staggered rims, but my friend told me his gf's brother is trying to get rid of some tight looking Dub with good tires too. i dont know 20" would probably jack the car up too high for me and i'm not planning to lower that car.

The BEST mod for the 3.0 is the CompTech S/C. Of course it is $3,000 and has to be modified from the Accord kit... but well... It is still the best mod. Most gains.

POP POP POP.

JP parts are expensive as hell! they want an arm and leg for their damn spoiler already. nah i'm not gonna mess with the motor and suspension YET. waiting to get a house then i'll do some mod...i was looking at Tein CS, i want it so bad...might have to go behide my gf back and add it on.

I try to take some pictures today and show you tonight, its a Alpine Silver 99 GS300 fully loaded with black interior (rarest color) with 99K miles, all highway.... it drive really smooth. leather is in pretty good shape no tear at all. dude posted $13K-something for it...i talked him down to $9750 cash. not bad huh?

whats wrong with it you ask? i'll tell you. those dood in the ClubLexus.com are no help wat so ever, well i only noticed the GS group.

anyway, there was only 3 problems wrong with the car. plus a small dent.

1. the LCD on the radio is fucked up...missing segment....found it for around 300...250 for the whole radio on ebay. well i just need the LCD...so i contacted the guy that post his ads on ebay about fixing lexus radio and ask him to just sell me the LCD...$50 sold.

2. windshield wiper motor didnt work....ebay = $80 + crazy ebay price shipping for just the motor, steeler want $2hundred something. went on car-parts.com found a posted for $54 from a place that hook me up with some pretty good deal. got it for $40, motor and the whole braket plus wiper arm and blade.

3. passanger rear door lock actulator does power lock. ebay = none...car-part.com =none...steeler = $389. i found some kinda website and put in a request...next day i got an email...$50+$20shipping for the lock actulator.

i told the guy that was saling the car that you know...the dealer is gonna charge me $400 for the radio, $400 for the wiper, and at least $500 for the lock. then there a small dent on the rear door...thats gonna be like $600. and he agree with me.



so all these fixed and it only cost me $160 non tax. and i have credit at a body shop to fix the dent.
